Redescription. Male. Total length 2.40 – 2.60. One of them ( Figs 8 A–F) total length 2.49. Prosoma 1.28 long, 0.95 wide; opisthosoma 1.32 long, 0.93 wide. Chelicerae with conspicuous stridulatory files on the lateral surface, 3 promarginal and 6 – 8 retromarginal teeth. Leg formula: 1423. Opisthosoma with some black spots and 4 pale chevron-like marings dorsally. Spiracle located centrally. Male palpal patellar apophysis recurved and hook-like. RTA long. Embolus originating retro-basally and spiraling clockwise along the margin of tegulum nearly 360º (left palp). Median apophysis membranous, originating retrolaterally. Cymbium furrow deep, which length is almost equal to half of cymbial length ( Figs 6 A–C, 8G–I). Female. Total length 2.80 – 3.20. One female ( Figs 9 A–C): total length 2.87. Prosoma 1.27 long, 0.97 wide; opisthosoma 1.70 long, 1.37 wide. Leg formula: 4123. Chelicerae with 6 retromarginal teeth. Stridulatory file absent. Other characters as in male. Epigyne with large, posteriorly extended atrium. Copulatory ducts relatively short, bifurcate in front of atrium. Sub-spermathecae ball-like or tuberculate. Spermathecae located posteriorly, separated by large atrium. Fertilization ducts small, pointing laterally. A pair of hoods found posterior of epigastric furrow, distance of which is wider than width of spermathecae ( Figs 7 A–D, 9G–I).

Description. See Brignoli (1982: 346) and the description of H. flagellifera in Zhang et al . (2011 : 19). Male holotype’s habitus, stridulatory files and palp are shown in Figures 3 A, 3B, 3C–E. Photos of specimens from Menglun in Yunnan are shown in Figures 4 A–I, 5A–C, 6A–G, 7A–D.
diagnosis · Plazi
Diagnosis. Females of the species are similar to H. jocquei ( Bosmans 1982: 177, figs 2 – 3 ), H. maginii ( Figs 1 A–F, 2A–B), H. ovata ( Song & Zheng 1982: 81, figs 5–8 ), H. rossii ( Brignoli 1977: 79, fig. 46 ), and H. submaginii ( Zhang et al . 2011 : 19, figs 18A–F) in having an epigynal atrium and small, anteriorly located subspermathecae, but differ from the others by the large, oval atrium with distinct margin ( Figs 6 D, 6E, 7A, 7C). Males of the species are similar to H. submaginii ( Zhang et al. 2011 : 19, figs 17A–C), but are distinguished by the simple patellar apophysis ( Figs 3 C–E, 4G–I, 5A–C), rather than a bifurcate one.
